Example usage

For our examples we will be using the tables from www.coolgithubprojects.com. We use .convert for local HTML files and .convertUrl for online retrieval.

// Site was saved locally in process folder. The follow code will read it and generate the json.varecho=require('echo-table-2-file');echo.convert('process','output','json');

// Here we grab the tables from the site and save the data to a csv (default type).varecho=require('echo-table-2-file');echo.convertUrl('https://www.coolgithubprojects.com','output');

// Lastly, we filter the tables to only include the month table (based on table ID).varecho=require('echo-table-2-file');echo.convertUrl('https://www.coolgithubprojects.com','output','months');/* OUTPUT EXAMPLE : ./output/month.csv "0","Language","Change","Name" "","JavaScript","+5607","iojs/io.js" "","Go","+5439","golang/go" "","Other","+4581","prakhar1989/awesome-courses" "","JavaScript","+4045","dimsemenov/PhotoSwipe" "","PHP","+3284","isohuntto/openbay" ...*/
